G-MANN ◊ 2006-08-01 11:14	What's an XK-E? This just looks like an E-Type.
Sunbar ◊ 2006-08-01 11:19	XK-E was the model designation used in the USA for E-Type.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2006-08-01 13:59	Bearing in mind that Superman Returns was filmed in Australia, we should list it as an E-Type unless it can be proved to be a US-spec model.
Sunbar ◊ 2006-08-01 14:04	My source of information (jag-lovers.org) official Jaguar brocure at UK launch 1961 Jaguar E-Type, open two seater and fixed head coupe Jaguar launch brochure in the USA 1962 Jaguar XK-E roadster and XK-E Coupe I believe the USA were trying to keep the association with the previously successful XK-120 and XK-150 models. -- Last edit: 2006-08-01 14:08:12
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2006-12-10 02:09	Since this is a background car, I think it's very likely to be a right hand drive E-Type made for Australia.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2008-03-11 14:45	I hope you don't mind me repeating this, but no-one seems to have noticed it in over a year.

The rain scene was shot with the light's off, then I got asked over the radio to run into the rain scene and turn the lights on for a second shot (I got drenched).

TJM ◊ 2009-03-01 11:39	Just for the record this car is a 1966 model FHC originally sold new in the US. I imported the car into Australia in 1996 and it was subsequently converted to right hand drive. The give-away that it is a US spec car is that I did not change the wipers - if you look at the picture you will see that they park on the left hand side of the windscreen instead of the right (as they would for a UK or Australian delivered car).
